get one of those sticker things that you put on the screen so you can only see it by looking strait in front, that way any teachers who happen to glance over will just see a black screen. their pretty cool, saw them at bestbuy for like 2 dollars.

Most teachers r idiots computer-wise. Just hide all your games, and if you feel they want to take a look at ur comp just turn off "view hidden folders" in tools-folder options. You might could make a hotkey for that lol. Hotkeys are fun and useful, set you up a paranoia-key lol.

Unless you have a teacher who knows anything about comps... Oh and type random stuff sometimes so it looks like ur taking notes, and always have a "notes.txt" or something open so you can bring it up fast just in case. Have one for each class lol just copy/past from wikipedia or something.

GL with the gamin, but u better dual-boot. No point running windows by itself... gah!

Personally, I am linux only, until I can get a hard drive bigger than 6gb on my own comp (which I built from 10-year-old computer scraps. The one i'm on right now is winxp MCE, which rocks (for windows)
